Why you have to choose green cars?
When you are going to buy a car, you will consider many things like price, its fuel efficiency, style etc. Now you should add one more thing to your consideration- is it a green car?

 Green cars are a step towards greening the road transport. That means the smoke that is going to hit your face will be less, the harm it is going to cause to your health and the environment will be less.

 Choosing green cars that emits less toxic material not only protects the environment, but also your helps in reducing your family budget from the gasoline price rises and save money at the pump. The environmental impact associated with cars is mainly due to pollution in their exhaust. Increase in the number of green cars will reduce the air pollution.

 When fuels are burned in car engines, combustion is never perfect, and so the emission contains toxic elements. If combustion were perfect the emission would only contain water vapor and CO2. CO2 and other toxics from fossil fuels are very harmful to the environment because it causes global warming. The pollution coming from a car can differ depending on the standards it meets. Toxic emissions from cars are controlled by various regulations. Nowadays most cars are certified to two standards one California and one Federal.

 But ultimately it is your choice of make and model that is going to decide how minimum the damage to the environment will be. If you choose green cars the environmental damage will be less.

 How to choose a green car?

 So before making your decision to buy a green car you may like to equip yourself with information. For example what is the emission standard of a particular make and model? Among the green cars which is better? What is its overall environmental impact etc? American Council for Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) maintains an online database that will help you in this regard. Green cars are compared on the basis of a Green Score. For example Toyota Prius got a Green score of 53, and became the number one green car in 2009. Honda Civic Hybrid was the second best green car with a Green Score of 51. Higher the score a car gets, greener the vehicle.  Other information, like fuel economy, health-related pollution impacts, and estimated fuel expenses etc of various models are available in ACEEE's online database.

 When you buy your new car, buy a green car that will help keep the environment cleaner. When you buy a green car you are encouraging automaker to produce a better green car. It is a way of giving your support to Green initiative taken to prevent environmental degradation.

 Choosing a green car might be an intelligent decision because if about 40 to 50 years time all fossil fuel will be used up and we will be left with huge vacuum in energy and fuel. If we want our children and grandchildren to drive a car then we should start to conserve and save fuel for them as well. Let’s decrease our hunger for fossil fuel and make a better pollution free planet to live on.
